The Great Wall of Lucy Wu

The Great Wall of Lucy Wu
by Wendy Wan-Long Shang

Lucy Wu's hopes for a perfect sixth-grade year have just been destroyed!   With her big sister going away to college, Lucy was finally going to have her own bedroom.    Now, with the upcoming visit of her mother's aunt from China, Lucy is going to have to spend months sharing her bedroom with a relative she has never even met!   Things only get worse for Lucy when her parents tell her she may have to give up basketball so she can attend Chinese school on Saturdays.    To add to Lucy's frustrations, school has become a nightmare as popular Sloane Connors begins bullying her in a series of mean pranks.  After dealing with unusual relatives, Saturday school, and cruel bullies at school, will things ever get better for Lucy?

I loved this book!  It's a great realistic fiction story with situations that many readers will be able to relate to.
